Artists have imagined realities using various mediums, throughout history. If you could imagine or experience a time in history, when and where would that be? Join the Digital Maker Collective and help explore the concept of imagined histories and how we experience, time, absence & empathy through immersive art, emergent technologies and virtual reality.
Exploring contextual parameters in the form of an immersive experience in Virtual Reality, the DMC has created an immersive walk through the Millbank Penitentiary (Millbank Prison) re-imagining the notorious Victorian London prison which once occupied the location of Tate Britain. What connects the physical presence of the user to the empathic experience? How does time and the absence of reality relate to the user?
